Thousands of members of Scotland's Sikh community took part in the first celebration of Vaisakhi since the Covid-19 pandemic.
The traditional Nagar Kirtan procession celebrates the birth of the Sikh nation.
Sunday's procession began at the Gurdwara Granth Sahib in Pollokshields, Glasgow at around 9.30am before making its way across the River Clyde to the Central Gurdwara in the West End.
It ended at the Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Otago Street.
Vaisakhi falls on April 14 and is a Sikh celebration of the spring harvest as well as the beginning of the solar new year.
Vaisakhi also marks the birth of the Khalsa order by Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Guru of Sikhism, on April 13, 1699.
Great to see the Sikh Nagar Kirtan leaving from @GlasgowGurdwara after a break due to the pandemic. The procession will visit all four of Glasgow’s Gurdwara. Happy Vaisakhi to all who celebrate. pic.twitter.com/0lhJDpfxA8
